Serpentine Draft

[rlowe61]

If you want to through a wrench in the serpentine system, here's one someone could try in an off season event.
Let the current system of first round selections happen, 1 to 8, all the moving up, etc that currently happens. Once all 8 alliances have 2 teams Pause.
Alliance captains now draw numbers out of a hat (1-8 or 8-1 or a big bowl and everyone at one time(make it interesting put numbers 1-16 in there, you still go sequentially, but may skip the unselected numbers), these numbers now dictate the order of selection of the alliances' last member. This would totally randomize how the alliance second selection is made. Want to make it more interesting, as the teams draw their number, keep it secret until their turn to select. Emcee ask who has "1", no answer "2" and so on. This way it is totally a suprise to everyone, (if you use 16 numbers, number "7" may be the lowest number on the floor "SUPRISE").
As a good stratigist can predict what a team may need and look ahead, the suprise order can throw the prediction off by not knowing who's selecting next.
Just a thought.
These thoughts are mine, and do not reflect on any team or other individuals.
